Good morning! So the hubby and I decided to do a 24 hour juice fast...soooo I decided today I would post about juicing :) I'll also post the recipes as we go, so you can enjoy them as well! We are new to juicing but have enjoyed it and so has our 5 year old, which is always a PLUS! Well first thing first you need a juicer, (a blender works, but is prob more work and wont juice as well.) We got ours at Walmart, heres a link of the one we have: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Jack-LaLanne-Power-Juicer/14968099
Ok so some facts for you guys, like I said we are new so dont know all there is to know but figured Id share what we have read or learned so far. Most the things Ive learned are from the movie called Fat,Sick, and Nearly Dead. (http://www.fatsickandnearlydead.com/) The movie is a great movie showing testimonials of two men (and others) who had life threatening weight and diseases...showing the alternatives to medication/surgery fix in just 60 days.
Why juice you ask....Loose weight? Healthy? Well both for some people...and health for everyone! Another reason....check out the recipe below and see how many fruits/veggies it takes to make ONE juice...would you realy eat all that by itself? You're still eating something even though its in juice form, plus it has so many micro nutrients (helps w building muscle and immunity)...unlike the boxed stuff from the store. You dont need to fast for 24 hrs, 10 days, or however long to have juicing have a positive effect! Just one juice a day makes a difference (along with healthy eating the rest of the day). 60% of our diets are processed foods because its fast, easy, and convenient...eating clean (not processed) makes such a difference in our life along with exercise. Its so much more then just loosing weight and looking good (those are huge bonus's) but its about health and getting rid of the risks for diabetes, cancer stroke...getting better self confidence, thinking more clearly, better energy, better sleep, ect. Here is a link with some good info... http://www.alternativeratreatments.com/eat-to-live.html. Ok ok enough for this post! :) Ill post the rest of our juices and more info with them.
